Luton College
The Luton College is committed to providing opportunities and widening participation with vocationally focused curricula relevant to a national and international audience. This focus involves three interlocking activities; teaching, research and knowledge transfer.
The college has gained national recognition for its achievements in widening participation and teaching. It is gaining increasing regional and national recognition for the quality of its research and its knowledge transfer work with small and medium-sized companies.
The college has established six Research Institutes. These institutes act to focus the research output of college staff, to increase and support research quality and to help to communicate more widely research achievements.
(The Research section is work in progress. Individual Research Institute websites are currently being developed and will be published here in due course.)
Luton Institute of Research in the Applied Natural Sciences occupies part of the Luton College's Research and Innovation Centre at The Spires. The health, safety & welfare arrangements are set out in the Departmental Arrangements document that may be downloaded as a pdf file.
The Institute laboratories contain many potential hazards. In consequence, use of the laboratories requires special arrangements that are laid out in the Safe Working Procedures document that may be downloaded as a pdf file.
